Answer by  Chaneygirl (1755)

Fill out a new W-4 form with your employer. Increase the number of dependeds (exemptions) on the form. If your W-4 is married 0, channge to married 2 or 3.

Ask your employer (HR or payroll department) for a W4. You can specify the filing status, number of dependents, and level of witholding. The form comes with a worksheet. If you fill out the worksheet, you should get close to the correct withholding amount. You employer submits the W4 to the IRS.

The easiest way for you to change the number of exemptions is to refile your W-4 with your employer. Generally speaking if you want less with held increase the exemptions, if you want more withheld, decrease your exemptions.
